Faderfox Announces DJ44 – Suitcase DJ Controller

Posted on Nov 12, 2013

Faderfox has announced the DJ44, a very sexy DJ controller that comes self-contained in its own aluminum case. The DJ44 looks to be the first moonshot of a new line Faderfox will be introducing over the course of the next year dubbed, SOLID CONTROL. Geared towards two + two track Traktor Pro usage, the FaderFox aesthetic is now looking more and more like the NASA-inspired, 4midiLoop Controller by everyone’s favorite fun-guy Ivo Glanzmann.

The compact, “suitcase” design is ready for action and sets up in flash by just removing the cover. Setup files for Traktor Pro/Duo 2 and Ableton Live are shipped with the controller.Features:
